Returning to the cemetary after the first foray into Castle Brinewell

[Bella]

(This happens the first night the players return to the cemetary after fighting the floating ocopus thing. You have not yet rescued the women in the cell.)

The party is hurting from their foray into the castle. They did not expect to meet such a deadly enemy in the first room of the castle they went into. Sam Rai is feeling week from the disease the creature inflicted on him and must accept help from the party in order to walk back to the cemetery. As the approach, Sandru jumps out at them, sword pointed at them.

Relief sets in as he sees it is the party approaching.

[sandru]

"My friends. It is good to see you are still alive. I see your still here to Jo." he says with a wry grin.

He walks over and helps Sam the rest of the way to the encampment.

You did not return the last night and we heard a loud screeching over night so we were concerned about you. I figured it was Jo having a temper tantrum, but Koya insisted I come. She woul dhave come with me but she is not feeling well at the moment. It is probably from spending so much time traveling with Jo. You guys look the worse for wear yourselves. What happened to you? Do you need a break from sloppy there as well?"

(the screeching was the large bat you fought)

[girdnas]

Jo looks over at Sandru, as if seeing him for the first time.

"Brother! It is so fine to see you here. Taking the chance of messing your hair to check upon our well-being is likely the bravest thing you've ever done! I am glad to see it remained unscathed. You say our mother is feeling ill? Strange, she seemed so fine and happy when in my care. I'm sure when I return she will shine again. At least until we get moving. The way you lead your wagons would make a troll queasy."

[sandru]

"And I am happy to see the castle had no mirrors. The last time you looked in one half your hair fled in terror! Anyways, what is your progress on finding the warding box? Ameiko is still in a coma, and she has not gotten any worse, but last night she did thrash around in her sleep and say things no one in the camp could understand. We were hoping one of you might know."

[Spivey]

Spivey flys over to Sam to take a look at him.

"Wow.. you look horrible. Let me see. Huh. This should help a bit." she says as she casts a lesser resteration.

"Find what you were looking for?" she asks as she flys over to Kits shoulder and sits down.

[Wakko]

"Not yet. This castle is a tough nut to crack."

[Spivey]

"What did this person in the coma say?" she asks as she fly's over to Shandru.

[sandru]

Sandru pulls out a piece of paper. "None of us understood her, but we think it was Ochan wa ikanotōridesuga, kare ga daredearu ka shiranai." he says as he struggles through the words. He looks at the group and shrugs.

(DM: Who speaks Tien and where did you learn it?)

[Wedge]

Sandru pulls out a piece of paper. "None of us understood her, but we think it was Ochan wa ikanotōridesuga, kare ga daredearu ka shiranai." he says as he struggles through the words. He looks at the group and shrugs.

(DM: Who speaks Tien and where did you learn it?)

Kai speaks Tien (took a linguistics skill). He probably learned it from Zokuro Goji, his Ninja mentor.

[Wakko]

I also speak it, and so does Po. I learned it from my parents and Po.

[girdnas]

Jo speaks Tien. He learned from his parents who are Minatan and Ming

[Bella]

The first word seems off, but you think that what she said was that "something or someone is below, but they know not who they are".

What is more odd is that she spoke it in Tien, which Sandru would confirm she does not know.

[Spivey]

"Did I hear that your friend is in a coma? I can tag along with Sandru here back to your group and take a look if you want."

[Wedge]

I'd want to go as well and see if I can get Ameiko to say more in Tien and maybe provide another clue.

And of course to stare lovingly into her eyes.

[Bella]

Since you are not a spellcaster, you can go back to the caravan, but if you do it two nights in a row, you will be fatigued from not getting enough sleep. In game the party has already rested twice at the cemetary. So this next part will be the second time you rested (after the fungus spit on everyone for Con drain )

[Spivey]

Spivey and Kai (and any others) make it back to the caravan. They see the caravan crew crowded around Ameiko as she thrashes around.

She seems to be weekly saying something in Tein over and over.

"Dai san bōruto-nai no tsu no shīru o koete 1tsu no takara"

You think she is saying "One treasure beyond two seals in the third vault"

She does not respond to anyone talking to her.

Spivey flys over to her and studys her for a few moments.

"Huh." she says a look of concern on her face. "I may be wrong on this, but I think she has something possessing her."

[Bella]

If anyone who goes back to the caravan has Knowledge Planes, you can make a role. Non of the NPC's have it.

Each person who goes back can also make a perception check.

[Wedge]

"Maybe she can be awakened with a kiss, like in a fairy tale?" Kiss her.

Perception check: +12

For a total of 32. Did I make it?

[Bella]

The member 'Yippee Kai Yay Mo Pho' has done the following action : Dices roll

'd20' : 20

[sandru]

"What do you think your doing?" sandru yells as he shoves you away from Ameiko.

"You dare take advantage of her while she is ill?"

[Koya]

"calm yourself Sandru." Koya says as she puts a hand on his shoulder.

"I do not think Kai meant any harm. I think he forgot that we do not live in a fantasy world. A kiss, no matter how enjoyable, will not make her." she says with a wry smile.

[Bella]

(your perception reveals that Lute is there in the caravan. He did not start out with you. He seems to be standing uncomfortably close to Koya in a Old letch kind of way, not a sinister way)

[Wedge]

"calm yourself Sandru." Koya says as she puts a hand on his shoulder.

"I do not think Kai meant any harm. I think he forgot that we do not live in a fantasy world. A kiss, no matter how enjoyable, will not make her." she says with a wry smile.

"<Sigh>. It was worth a try..."

To Lute: "Where'd you come from?"

To DM: Who is Lute? Do we know him?
